The challenge
Conditions on site — heat, dust, vibration and patchy connectivity — had defeated two earlier attempts at this in shipyard.
What we built
We ran a two-week discovery sprint, then built and fielded the system end to end on 5G, WebRTC and GStreamer, with operator training and an SLA.
Delivery timeline
Phase 1
Discovery sprint and site survey
Phase 2
Prototype built and tested in the Motera lab
Phase 3
Pilot on site with before/after measurement
Phase 4
Scale-out, training and handover
Highlights
- Designed, built and supported from Motera, Ahmedabad
- Before-and-after measurements agreed with the client up front
- Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
- Integrated with existing PLC, ERP or GIS systems — no rip-and-replace
